Editor: I read with a horrible, sinking feeling that Caltrans, again, is planning to kill our community (NCJ Daily, May 16)! It is taking our main artery, north and south, and altering it in such a way that traffic will then go to Old Arcata Road. I live on this road. I have had my fence destroyed three times by drunk drivers driving off the road. I have contacted the CHP and collected stats on the wrecks on our road. Those reflect recklessness and drunken drivers, but also reflect those who are going over the speed limit. We cannot have traffic routed to our road. Bikes would not be safe ... there is no lane for them. There is no sidewalk. There are no lights. Please people, come together and fight this ridiculous plan! It does not include sea-level rise and it does not respect businesses on the highway. It does not respect personal safety. It does not respect home owners. Ginni Hassrick, Bayside

Stop Fighting This Plan! Editor: To the Coastal Commission, Humboldt Baykeeper, Coalition for Responsible Transportation Priorities, North Coast Environmental Center, and Surfrider Foundation: Stop prolonging the Safety Corridor’s overhaul. Start worrying about who will die on this lethal stretch of highway. I’m a “safety” corridor casualty. Two years ago, a car gunned it to cross the

Raggedy Rainbow My colors aren’t quite shining, on this dim lit day. I’m usually pinks and purples, now I’m just plain grey. People see right through me, although I shine quite bright. Sparkling in the sunshine, hiding late at night. Some say I’m well rounded i’d like to think so too. But this misty little mess, Can’t help feeling blue Or red, Or 50 shades of green. That’s why I’m on the spectrum. Whatever that may mean. — Terra Lovio

median, broadsided my van, spun it around and totaled it. One second sooner and I wouldn’t be here to write this letter. I was “lucky to only” sustain a serious, painful, life-time injury. Over the next two days, my doctor shared how her car was rear-ended on the corridor, and then an acquaintance pointed out his multiple-roll-over after being broadsided on the corridor. Since then, I’ve met others who’ve barely survived this insane stretch of highway between Arcata and Eureka. It’s way past time to get priorities straight. Stop delaying Caltrans’ overhaul. Diana Lynn, Blue Lake

Where’s the Respect? Editor: I am still puzzling over my supervisor’s mysterious admonition to his colleague Supervisor Steve Madrone at a recent meeting: “Respect is earned, not given and I hope you know that.” (“Got Water?,” May 16.) What actions or character traits could earn Rex Bohn’s respect? Not spearheading the construction of the Hammond Trail? None of the outstanding restoration work accomplished by Madrone in Bohn’s own district? His dedicated teaching at Humboldt State University? If Bohn doesn’t respect Madrone, then he doesn’t respect the people of the Fifth District, who elected Madrone. So whom then does my supervisor respect? Ellen Taylor, Petrolia

remarks showed me I want some new bodies like Madrone sitting in the BOS chambers. I agree with Madrone’s request, though I am not a constituent of his district, and applaud his position and grace in the face of such treatment. In light of the article “Got Water?” by Elaine Weinreb (May 16) concerning other issues of the Trinidad Rancheria hotel project, it seems more serious consider-

‘Appalled’ Editor: Thank you, Thadeus Greenson, for your editorial (“Incredibly Disappointing,” May 16) regarding the incumbent Humboldt County supervisors’ treatment and comments toward the newest board member Steve Madrone when he requested the board send a letter to the Bureau of Indian Affairs requesting the California Coastal Commission delay a hearing on the Trinidad Rancheria hotel project so local residents can provide input. Not only was I appalled at Virgina Bass, Rex Bohn and Estelle Fennell being unwilling to work with Madrone on this issue but their comments — and the tone of said comments — were troubling. What I heard was the “good old boy” and “business as usual” dismissal to not consider the request at hand in a civil manner. Did Rex Bohn really think it was a good idea to state, “Respect is not given, it is earned?” on the heels of his lovely remarks regarding Latinos and stealing hubcaps? Not that I had a lot of respect for the man before but my opinion of him certainly tanked then. I feel their refusal to consider the letter to BIA as requested and their snide

Draft Housing Element Calls for Drastic Solutions to Humboldt’s Housing ‘Crisis’

HUMBOLDT HOUSING BY THE NUMBERS

43,719

Median Household Income in Humboldt County

310,000

By Freddy Brewster

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

t is no surprise that Humboldt County has a lack of affordable housing. For years, county government has identified the need for more housing of all types but the private sector hasn’t built enough and many of the new builds are simply too expensive for the majority of Humboldt residents to afford. Consequently, the 2019 draft Housing Element update is calling for some dramatic changes, from the creation of a tiny home village to a county development department. Planning and Building Department Director John Ford said the county needs to start thinking about solutions for housing needs in a new way because, “unless something changes, we are not going to be able to build affordable housing in Humboldt County.” “The old notion of, ‘Zone it and build it and they will come,’ is not working and there are a lot of hurdles for the county to overcome,” Ford told the Journal. One of the ways Ford hopes to solve the housing crisis is by establishing a county-run development department that would build or acquire low-rent housing. In order for the county to be able to build low-rent housing, voters would have to approve a ballot measure due to Article 34 of the California Constitution, which prohibits counties from developing, constructing or acquiring low-rent housing without voter approval. “What we would be doing is going to the county (voters) and asking if they want us to undertake a housing project that the county can put up and develop,” Ford said. “Some of it is just being able to build homes at a price point where people can afford.” The 2019 Housing Element, which came

before the Humboldt County Planning Commission on May 16, is a roadmap that lays out the path the county needs to take in order to address housing needs of the residents in unincorporated areas for the next eight years. It is currently in the draft stage and staff expects to present a final draft to the planning commission June 6. The draft element outlines seven main goals, including promoting regulatory practices and incentives to increase production of affordable housing; providing workforce housing that is close to local businesses; promoting affordable housing opportunities for the disabled, homeless and single parents; and providing opportunities for the creation of more emergency shelters, day centers and supportive and transitional housing. In the draft, the cost of building is identified as the biggest barrier to solving the county’s housing needs, but the draft notes other factors, as well, including environment constraints, a “lack of knowledge about the permitting process” and “a lack of access to expertise.” But the draft element makes plain that Humboldt County’s historic approach has not addressed what it now refers to as a “crisis.” The median home price in Humboldt County is $310,000, which most residents can’t afford, as the median household income in Humboldt County is $43,718, according to the U.S. Census. “About 70 percent of Humboldt households cannot afford the median priced home,” Michelle Nielsen, senior planner with the planning and building department, said during the May 2 planning commission meeting, adding that the minimum household income needed to afford a $310,000 home is $67,210, or 35 percent

more than the county’s median household income. “What you will see is large numbers of people overpaying for their housing. So, then, they have less money available for other matters like childcare and those sorts of things.” Although the cost of housing seems to be a barrier even for those in the median-income group — an income of $59,900 for a family of four— a surplus of units were built from 2014-2019. According to county data, 205 units were built to meet the need of only 146 units in that category, likely because developing middle-class, single-family homes is one of the few areas developers still find profitable. Nielsen said the housing needs of the low-income categories outlined in the 2014 Housing Element were not adequately met and there are a multitude of reasons for the shortfalls. “It seems to be a combination of factors with a lot of it surrounding the economy, the cost of housing, the cost of building housing and the labor market,” Nielsen told the Journal. “It can be whether the pay is enough, or if we have enough skilled labor to do the work. There are a combination of factors that contribute to the problem.” According to the 2014 Housing Element, Humboldt needed 859 new residential units built by 2019 to meet the housing needs of the county’s unincorporated areas. Of the 859 units, 347 were needed for residents who fall into low-income categories but only 127 were built. That’s a pattern that has continued since the 2007 Housing Element, which estimated 567 units would be needed for people in the low-income categories only to see just 20 percent of them constructed. Planning Commission Vice Chair Alan Bongio, a developer by trade, said there are two main problems that stand in the way of addressing the county’s housing needs. One is the cost and the other is the lack of housing being built. Bongio said that in the last four years, he can only think of two subdivisions being built. “The bigger problem that we have facing Humboldt County is that we have nobody that is developing,” Bongio said during a May 16 meeting. “There’s no money left in it and everything’s got too expensive.”

When it comes to sheltering and housing the county’s homeless population, the draft 2019 Housing Element states that there’s “no question there is a crisis” and the number of homeless people in Humboldt County “far exceeds shelter capacity.” According to the biennial Point in Time Count, which attempts to calculate the number of people sleeping without shelter on a single night, there are almost 1,500 people living without shelter in Humboldt County, a per-capita rate that is roughly three times the state average, according to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development data. The draft 2019 Housing Element calls for the building of more shelter space and transitional housing. Additionally, it proposes rezoning the regulations for tiny homes, an allowance of movable tiny homes and a tiny home village. The tiny home village would consist of a group of three or more tiny homes that have a centralized location for cooking, cleaning and showering. Betty Chinn’s Blue Angel Village on West Washington Street in Eureka, where approximately 40 people live in converted shipping containers, is an example of a similar model. Ford said the county is also going to pursue grants in a more aggressive way in order to find funding to meet housing needs. He also wants to build partnerships with the people building the homes and the people trying to get into them. “One of the things we would like to do is to move the needle to allow more people to get into homes with a focus on median-income and less,” Ford said. “We need to build housing that is affordable for the people that live and work here.” l

onchos, umbrellas and rain jackets surrounded Humboldt State University’s Redwood Bowl the morning of May 18 as graduates celebrated their commencement. Among them, in a full cap, gown and graduation stole, was Charmaine Lawson, sitting in place of her son, David Josiah Lawson. David Josiah Lawson, who was a 19-yearold sophomore when he was fatally stabbed at an off-campus party two years ago in the early morning hours of April 15, 2017, would have spent this weekend celebrating his graduation from HSU. Instead, his mother accepted an honorary posthumous degree on his behalf. After all graduates in the criminology and justice studies major were named, professor Michihiro Clark Sugata announced the presentation of his posthumous degree. “The degree will be accepted by his mother, Charmaine Lawson,” Clark Sugata told the crowd. Cheering, applause and a standing ovation followed, as Lawson continued her walk onto the stage. “David. Josiah. Lawson,” the professor continued. Raising both her hands and the HSU diploma, Lawson stayed on stage to celebrate her son’s degree. As the crowd went silent someone shouted, “Justice for Josiah,” more cheering and chanting followed. “Justice for Josiah. Justice for Josiah.” Lawson went back to her seat and stood as the crowd continued to cheer. Two years ago at David Josiah Lawson’s funeral service in Moreno Valley, HSU Vice President Craig Wruck spoke and presented a Certificate of Achievement to Lawson’s family. Charmaine Lawson

respectfully declined the gesture, telling him, “We’re going to do this the right way. Hold on to it until his graduation date, where we’re going to go and accept it at the Redwood Bowl as he would have on his graduation date.” David Josiah Lawson was also celebrated at the Black Heritage Graduation Celebration on May 17, where Lorna Bryant introduced him and his accomplishments. “Now, I’ve painted a picture but I want you to hear his voice,” she said before playing a recording of Lawson’s “To Be a Man” speech. “Josiah talked about being a man in the face of adversity. ... The thing with adversity, it makes you stronger, it gives you just what Josiah talked about: integrity and being a person of your word,” Bryant said. “Josiah planned to be a district attorney, and changing the laws that harm our community, harm our people and harm our lives. It was his intention to make a change. That won’t be stopped by the day of April 15, 2017. I say that because he has a strong family, particularly a strong mother.” At the Black Heritage Graduation Celebration graduates were given two roses to dedicate to their families or whomever. A presentation of each of the graduates was displayed on a screen behind the stage showing their name, pictures, major and a quote. When it was David Josiah Lawson’s turn to accept his roses, Charmaine Lawson, wearing a graduation cap, and her family walked onto the stage to accept

on his behalf. Charmaine Lawson took the roses and said her son would have dedicated the first one to his family, his brother and sister, his Los Angeles family and his Humboldt family. She grabbed the second one and said, “He would have said, ‘This rose goes to my MVP, my mom Charmaine, that would be sitting over there (pointing to the seats) rather than standing right here today. My MVP, my mom, my dad who raised three outstanding children.’” She congratulated the rest of the class and walked off the stage. Just before the graduation ceremony at the Redwood Bowl, Charmaine Lawson posted a video on Facebook live, “This is a really sad and really emotional day, I’m here at Humboldt State University standing in for my son, DJ, David Josiah Lawson, that was taken from us, but DJ, even though you were taken, your mommy is still here, the community is still here, your professors are here,” she told the camera. “Mommy’s walking for you today and our family is waiting out there to see me walk out for you, Today is your day DJ and I’m going to make sure it’s special. This is for you DJ. I love you, my baby.” l This story was first published May 18 at www.northcoastjournal.com. Iridian Casarez is a staff writer at the Journal.

The Pink Lady Could be Yours By Iridian Casarez

iridian@northcoastjournal.com

he Pink Lady is up for grabs and for a cool $1.2 million, the Queen Anne Victorian house can be yours. Known for its elegant exterior and blush color, the four-bedroom vacation rental hit the market May 13. The Pink Lady has stood on M Street for 130 years, first as a wedding gift to William Carson’s eldest son Milton Carson in 1889. After Carson died in 1912, Milton moved into the Carson mansion but the Pink Lady stayed in the family for eight years. After its departure from the Carsons in 1920, it passed through many hands but was most notably owned by two German sisters who used it as a boarding house until 1942, when it was seized as Nazi property. Before 2016, it was used as an office space before being turned into a vacation rental. Coldwell Banker Cutten Realty Realtor Jill MacDonald said the iconic property has gained serious consideration from a couple of prospective buyers and she’s held a few viewings since the listing went up. It’s also on the New York Times real estate page. “Since putting the listing up on social media, it’s spreading out and gaining a lot of attention,” MacDonald said. “My son

even called me and asked me, ‘Mom did you put the Pink Lady listing up?!’” The owner, she said, put many significant improvements into the property when she bought it a few years ago, adding that it’s now in great condition, “fabulous” and ready for a new proprietor. While the Pink Lady is currently set up as a vacation home, its future is uncertain, depending on the desires of its next owner. Mike Reinman, owner of Redwood Coast Vacation Rentals (where the Pink Lady is listed), said that while it’s up for sale people can still rent the Pink Lady for their Humboldt County visit. Reinman believes the mansion will most likely continue as a “late 1800s Queen Anne/ Eastlake Victorian” vacation rental. “Its demand has grown a lot and has done pretty well, even in this economy.” Reinman said. “It’s a beautiful place to stay and a great place for weddings and private events.” l This story was first published May 17 at www.northcoastjournal.com.

n the ’70s, when it was still called marijuana, my buddy and I grew a crop near Briceland. Last week, we returned to the scene of our then crime. To minimize security concerns for our research, we booked safe passage to a couple grows via Humboldt Cannabis Tours. We expected to be impressed by technology because four decades ago “’high tech” consisted of CB radios to spread the word when we heard law enforcement helicopters in the distance. While there were some rudimentary solar installations for the most basic needs, many of us used propane refrigerators and stinky kerosene lamps. Preparing for the tour, we imagined apps and gadgets that not only enable an easier and more profitable way of life, but also facilitate high-volume, precise flowers at a lower environmental impact. And if technology increases workers’ pay and safety, too, it gets our old school gold star. That expectation came true. Even my friend, a man who abhors smart phones, was impressed by algorithms that can control nearly every nuance of a grow. That’s a big leap from our ’70s grow management: dumb luck. Let me send you through Mr. Peabody’s SoHum WayBack Machine for a 1970s minute, just before the “green rush” when environmental impacts from huge grows became common. Whoosh! We loved growing marijuana in SoHum for the scrubby freedom. We could work half-naked in the sun with only the occasional disruption from a law enforcement helicopter toting Vietnam War-era weapons. We endured the outdoor privy in bad weather, sweaty daily hikes with bags of chicken manure on our shoulders out to rocky plant sites and a general lack of funds. In our analog day, environmental threats — like illegal water diversions — were blunted by the distributed nature of growing. We scattered plants near tiny, infrequent springs because diverting a water source would be a crappy thing to do. For those who may have given it a flicker of consideration at the time, diversion was still rejected for fear it would call attention to the grow and they’d end up in jail with the other big category of

1970s miscreants: draft dodgers. No one was poisoning wildlife en masse, although many deer repelling plans resulted in utter failure. Some growers staked out unfortunate dogs howling in the wild to fend off wildlife. There wasn’t much to be done about rip-offs, unless we stayed in our patches all night long. Let’s climb back in the Wayback Machine and fast forward to our air-conditioned tour bus as it heads toward Fortuna. At the tech-heavy end of the tour, Bryan Robinson of Riverbar Pharms, who is also the president and CEO of Hygro, shows us a Dutch-made computer — the HortiMax-Go! from Growspan — that operates in the Cloud and controls 70,000 square feet of greenhouses in an indoor mixed-use grow. It allows him to regulate humidity, air flow, low-watt lights and irrigation. He manages his clone cuttings while he’s on the sofa with his smart phone. He adds, though, that he still puts his hands in the soil to see if the plants need water. We discovered that technology allows for cannabis that’s high-volume and meets exacting requirements for medical and recreational consumption. Technology enables a plant that is, most importantly, predictable. The impetus behind the technology is investors. Riverbar’s investors pulled their money out of the stock market to finance the farm, according to Robinson. With those investors to consider, and regular employees, not transient ones, to pay, he wants low-risk and predictability. He finds it in technology. “I like to control the environment,” he says. And the technology allows him to grow three times as much, he adds. Using technology reduces the environmental impacts in his new scene compared to his old grow, he says. The county helped Riverbar come out of the black market at his grow in Whitethorn to the white market, he says, and the old grow was decommissioned, with past water and grading impacts made healthy again. Technology also helps blunt environmental impacts from electricity use. He’s experimenting with very low-watt lights — just 6 watts per square foot. He also uses biodegradable plastics and other greener models for production.

Still, there’s electricity, plastic, pumps and water consumption. But his investors hang onto that “three times the volume” capacity, assured they’ll receive lower risk rates of return. While the financial angle was unintentional on the tour’s behalf, we couldn’t help noticing that after the blizzard of technology controlling Riverbar’s indoor farm, the tour plopped us down at nearly the exact opposite: a “no-investor” example of family farming. Mikal Jakubal’s self-financed Plant Humboldt nursery is just beyond the old Country Store near Briceland, a site where I used to drive miles of dirt road to use the pay phone to file news stories with the L.A. Times’ state editor. The articles, primarily about the horrors the Campaign Against Marijuana Planting was inflicting on SoHum residents, were hammered out on a manual typewriter and transcribed over the pay phone. The now-shuttered store currently displays a rusting sign for “High-Speed Internet Access.” At the Plant Humboldt nursery, we were gobsmacked by how healthy Jakubal’s 30,000 seed-grown plants were turning out this spring. The difference between the squat outdoor crop and the spindly-but-accurately-grown indoor scene was abrupt. We didn’t want to marvel at them like we did the tech-driven plants in the greenhouse. We wanted to take them home and smoke ‘em. Jakubal says he can grow these outdoor beauties because he doesn’t have to promise investor returns. He says he bootstrapped a small scene with 2,000 to 4,000 seedlings in 2016 into his operation now. “No consultants, no big investors,” he says. “It was the American Dream.” He adds that growers who start up now have other expectations and require millions in capital. Jakubal and his crew water the seedlings by hand. The extent of technology is in his inventory, which he processes with bar code scanners. His energy costs are, well, the cost of sunshine. His water comes from rain storage. There’s some plastic in piping and containers. Without relying on technology to guarantee sensimilla using clones/cuttings, Jakubal’s seed-grown plants have the problem of male infiltration. And that sends me and my buddy again

into the Wayback Machine. In the ’70s, sensimilla was a goal, not a prosaic reality. We planted the seeds that fell out of our baggies and hoped they grew. We hovered over our plants every day to see signs of male pollen sacs dropping so we could frantically sequester the pubescent plants until their in-vitro services were needed to produce seed for the next crop. The seed-grown scene is not so much different now. Yeah, Jakubal buys seed in bulk instead of rifling through baggies but he still has to root out males using a jeweler’s loupe to discover nascent pollinators. We were unable to check out a trim scene so I don’t get to relate how I found myself more than once in mid-winter at a grower’s kitchen table with a few others, clipping away, with a pile of cocaine over by the woodstove for enthusiasm and bottles of cognac for cleaning our hands between plants. It was OSHA’s worst nightmare. I can only assume that technology has obviated that part of the process and OSHA bureaucrats are not hyperventilating. We thought this story would be about two back-to-the-landers looking at how legalization has brought about shiny and scientifically elegant technology to make for better quality flower. We expected

that technology is helping grows to be less environmentally damaging and produce physically less-demanding crops since our labor of love in the ’70s. While that turned out to be true, we also learned how financial risk aversion is turning plants into a commodity by pushing techno-grows. Yet, technology also blunts some of the hard edges of our environmental concerns and allows for the type of grows that satisfy consumer demand and investors’ need for returns. In the ’70s, long-term rates of return for me and my growing buddy were about as important as Manhattan hotel real estate. What we were after were those 10-foot tall, sun drenched plants with “donkey dick” buds. It wasn’t much of a business plan. We did grow a few but after the harvest, we were still driving beaters and looking for an easier gig. We could’ve used a lot more technology but it didn’t exist and, hey, it wouldn’t have made for good stories. l After a multi-decade hiatus from Humboldt in an urban area where she still had to avoid police helicopters, J.A.

Most Weapons in Brazen 2015 Gun Theft Still Missing

he Eureka man with an outlaw name who was behind a brazen gun theft at Pacific Outfitters nearly four years ago was recently sentenced to 33 months in prison after pleading guilty to the crime in federal court. Jesse James Marquez was 19 when he cut power lines to the sporting goods store in August of 2015 to dismantle the alarm before breaking in through a skylight and proceeding to make off with the trove of 55 handguns that had been stored in a cabinet. Two weeks, later he took off to Oregon. Since then, only 17 of the weapons have been recovered, according to the Eureka Police Department, with most found during criminal investigations — several drug-related — from Southern Humboldt to Oregon and even out east in Georgia. One was brandished by Ervin Eugene Sweat Jr. when he nearly killed University Police Department officer Louis Altic, who was shot in the leg in September of 2017 after responding to the Arcata Plaza

on reports of a fight involving an armed suspect. Sweat was killed when Altic and another officer returned fire. “In addition to the prison term, Judge Breyer sentenced Marquez to a three-year term of supervised release and ordered Marquez to pay restitution to Pacific Outfitters in the amount of $56,600,” a Department of Justice press release states. The brash crime was one of the main reasons then Eureka Police Chief Andrew Mills proposed an ordinance — which he withdrew days later amid a public backlash — that would require gun owners and sellers within city limits to lock up their weapons when they weren’t home or a business was closed. “People have the right to bear arms but that’s just the point — to bear arms. Not to leave them lying around unprotected,” Mills said at the time. “[The ordinance was] written specifically so if someone is home or at their business, they can have all the guns they want lying about, because they’re in control of their firearms. It has nothing to do with ‘when somebody goes

The opening number on preview night.

From auditions to preview with the cast of Cabaret By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

Photos By Mark McKenna

n a Saturday morning early last June, Eureka High School’s halls are cool and quiet. But past the heavy auditorium doors, dozens of men and women in leotards, yoga pants, sneakers and lace-up dance shoes are running through a choreography sequence, a sheen of sweat visible on a few of their faces. They kick, drop down, slap their thighs and swivel over and over. “One, two, three, four, nasty-nasty, seven, eight,” calls Tigger Bouncer Custodio

as he paces upstage in a neon pink RuPaul T-shirt, his dark hair pushed back under a bandana. Some move like trained dancers, slinking across the scuffed black floorboards. Others shuffle, hands curled as they eye their neighbors’ feet. Still, everyone here has already made the first cut in auditions for North Coast Repertory Theatre’s spring musical Cabaret, to be directed and choreographed by Custodio. Today they’ll dance, sing and act out scenes alone and in pairs, hoping to land a part and, starting

in March, rehearse 10, 15, sometimes 20 hours a week for 11 weeks, then perform 16 shows, all unpaid but for a stipend of maybe $75 that doesn’t cover gas to and from the theater. Nobody is getting famous performing community theater in Humboldt County, either. But here they are, belting beside the piano at stage right and poring over pages of dialogue. Musical director Nanette Voss explains that dance-heavy shows often hold callbacks but the rigor is unusual. “Tigger is pushing them … we want to see their stamina,” she says. Girlish braids hang below the bandana tied over Voss’ head, belying the exactitude of her role here and as an English and drama teacher at EHS, where she’s also director of the theater program. She’s been doing theater since she was 10 and later began professional training. “Then I realized I’d rather do this for fun,” she says. Voss plays a verse of “Cabaret” on the piano for four women whose hair is still damp with sweat, watching them intently. Kelly Hughes, assistant director for the show, huddles around a folding table with Voss and Custodio during a break to go over the relative merits of the 40 performers on the list — whose vocals are “all over the place,” who dances with “charm”

and who’s giving them goosebumps. Two days later, they post the 19 parts and wait to hear who accepts and who’s going with another show. On March 4, just less than 11 weeks from opening night, a dozen members of the cast are back at the EHS auditorium, scattered in the first few rows of the house. Custodio tells them he wants everyone “off book” — with songs and dialogue memorized — in two weeks. There’s still a call out for actors of color, he says, “because that’s part of the story we’re telling.” A few minutes later, Claire Fuxabull (her VaVa Voom Vixens burlesque name), a tall African American dancer with a bob of loose curls, walks in and assures Custodio she can pick up choreography quickly. Custodio sits back in his velvet seat and sighs, “God is on my side.” Based on Christopher Isherwood’s 1939 novella Goodbye to Berlin, the musical adaptation Cabaret centers around a seedy nightclub in 1930s Berlin, where the Nazis are rising to power. The characters are increasingly swept up in the terrors of fascism, despite the varying depths of their denial. The connections to the current moment are hard to miss, given the resurgence of Nazis and their white suprem-

“I’m Jewish. It tells the story of Kristallnacht. I’m playing Schultz, a man who’s in denial.” acist brethren in the U.S. and abroad. By bringing people of color and more LGBTQ performers into the Kit Kat Club, Custodio, who is a Filipino Indigenous American gay cis man, is hoping to expand the idea of the vulnerable — then and now. Likewise, the Nazis are updated, sporting white polo shirts and khakis like their contemporary counterparts. In this production, some of the furniture is portrayed by people, too — frozen in place as lamps, doors and coat racks. Little by little, it goes from shocking to expected, played for laughs, then cruel. Finally, Custodio says, it ends in “complete objectification. Complete loss of humanity. … Because that’s what happens. … It’s how people of color are looked at. How queer people are looked at.” Of all the emotional aspects of the show, the last degradation is the most taxing for Fuxabull. “Being a footstool is the hardest part for me. Because I am not,” she says, hand raised, “a footstool.” Craig Benson, who plays Herr Schultz the fruit seller, says he was drawn to the show partly because he knew Custodio would have “a take that was courageous, definitive and political.” He leans into the lobby table, his eyes, one blue and one green, unblinking. “I’m Jewish,” he says. “It

tells the story of Kristallnacht. I’m playing Schultz, a man who’s in denial.” Aside from the emboldened anti-Semitism, Benson sees parallels with denial about climate change and attacks on the rights of LGBTQ people. Cabaret will be Benson’s third show with NCRT, though he’s directed five shows and acted in somewhere around 10 other Humboldt productions. By day, he teaches environmental science and management at Humboldt State University. “My head is in the sciences all the time and I need something for the other side of my brain,” he says gesturing toward his gray hair. And while he finds creativity in his field, “I don’t get to move like this. I don’t sing. … It’s mind, body, spirit and community.” Most of his colleagues don’t know about his other life. “I’m not outed as an artist,” he says with a smile. On March 28, seven weeks out from opening night, the small mirrored studio at CalCourts Health and Fitness on Broadway in Eureka is crowded with dancers running through the choreography for “Don’t Tell Mama.” Noel August, who performs in drag as Tucker Noir, stands in the corner, a Continued on next page »

beanie tipped back on her head, watching them spin and drift into line with varying degrees of smoothness, sneakers squeaking above the music. She’s here to “tighten up” the choreography. “It’s like hearing it from another parent,” she says. When the music stops, the dancers drop their saucy postures, blow the hair off their faces and listen to August’s notes. They’re to watch finger positions and other details that will “cue the audience that this is a tight number.” She deomonstates how they can achieve “sharpness” by engaging every muscle as though they’re moving against something more than empty air. They go again, this time with Custodio shadowing them, his double claps cracking through the room. A couple weeks later on April 15, half the cast is scattered around the stage under the fluorescent lights of the Jefferson Community Center. Once the set is more or less built, they’ll move to NCRT. Jenni Simpson, who plays the prostitute Fräulein Kost, holds a script tabbed with pink Post-its. Simpson is used to performing with Jenni and David and the Sweet Soul Band but, she says, pressing the red curls back from her forehead, “Acting is not something I do.” Voss encouraged her to try out for the show and Simpson, who works as a project analyst for the environmental consulting firm GHD, saw it as a chance to stretch creatively. “It’s interesting to have a really full life and to have this absorb everything,” including some of the time she’d typically

devote to her band and her dog. “I like [Kost],” Simpson says. “Ballsy isn’t the right word but she’s kind of a badass.” It makes Kost’s betrayal, aligning herself with the Nazis, more painful to portray. “Her choice is out of her own heartbreak and despair,” she says. “After I sing ‘Tomorrow Belongs to Me,’ we come back and have a circle and I’m really grateful.” Tonight they’re going through the scene leading up to the song “Somebody Wonderful,” a duet with Benson and Dianne Zuleger as Schultz and Schneider, who are newly engaged, with a wistful Kost singing in German in the background. Simpson is tentative in Kost’s telling off her landlady but soon she leans into it, sneering. “Yesss!” roars Custodio, cackling. “Give it to her!” Once the song begins, the scripts they’ve been sneaking glances at fall away and Benson and Zuleger lock eyes, their voices filling the room, which suddenly feels like a theater. Then Simpson, who doesn’t speak German, picks up the melody, singing the words with Kost’s lonely cynicism and a splinter of hope in her broad alto. When the song ends, she huffs a breath and a couple of castmates swipe at tears. Custodio asks Simpson how she’s doing during the break, telling her to let him know if anything becomes too much. There will be rough and gritty scenes in the show, depicting prostitution, violence and humiliation that could be difficult or triggering. “I’m not interested in capitalizing on anyone’s trauma,” he says. His own

training at the Webster University Conservatory of Theatre Arts was in method acting, drawing upon one’s own personal experiences and pain to bring “emotional rawness” to a performance. The result, he says, was “really powerful. But was it worth it?” The word “consent” comes up frequently in rehearsals and the players check in with each other about scenes with any contact — and there’s plenty of slapping, grinding and crotch grabbing. This is Custodio’s first time directing community theater, though he has four years directing kids at Fuente Nueva Charter School. He’s performed in Les Miserables, Rent and Chicago in Humboldt, as well as choreographing Pippin. “I know I have the ability to do what’s in my head. I do it on stage, I do it as Mantrikka [Ho],” he says, referring to his drag persona. But “to direct others and see a different interpretation is another level.” He stops to make a note in his battered spiral notebook to remind Hughes it’s time for them to “get real about consent” and what’s coming emotionally in the second act. On May 1, two weeks away from opening night, the cast is rehearsing on the NCRT stage, where the bones of the Kit Kat Club set are built and awaiting paint. The smell of sawdust is sharp. The players move through their warmup exercises in a mix of workout clothes, skimpy costumes and heels that require some getting used to, particularly for the

Once they’ve made it through to the grim finale, the cast takes seats in the house to hear notes on their singing, dancing, posture, acting and accents. Calder Johnson, the theater’s creative director, addresses the troops, too. “Well, that got dark, didn’t it?” Johnson’s is an actor’s voice and it carries to the rafters. The darkness, he tells them, is necessary to this “story from 100 years ago about people trying to get all the joy they can out of life as the world falls into fascism and darkness.” He jokes that it’s not relatable at all before continuing. “We have to commit to that 100 percent and because of that we have to take care of ourselves as actors and as a family. We have to be able to step out of it.” He also reminds them to project their voices from their diaphragms and thanks them for the hard work that’s taken them this far. Now, he says, “You’re hoping for that moment when the plane lifts off before you run out of runway, which is opening night.” Johnson started at NCRT as an actor in a production of Cabaret 15 years ago, working with the theater off and on before becoming managing artistic director three years ago. “In some ways,” he says, Humboldt County is “an anomaly because so many people value the arts. … People love to have these visceral experiences that you can’t get from Netflix on your couch.” That a largely rural county like Humboldt fills seats not only at NCRT but Redwood Curtain Theatre, Ferndale Repertory Theatre, the Arcata Playhouse, Dell’Arte International, HSU productions and Redwood Playhouse in Garberville is remarkable. According to his estimates, the theater is able to survive financially on 75 to 80 percent earned income from ticket and other sales, in contrast to the national average of 60 percent, with the other 40 percent coming from grants and individual donations. Even so, there isn’t enough cash to pay the actors like professionals without boosting ticket prices to $40 or $50.

BEST DISPENSARY Mounting a production is made significantly easier by the fact that NCRT owns its building, but it still adds up to between $9,000 and $12,000. Just renting the rights to perform a show runs $4,000 to $5,000. Another $1,500 to $2,000 goes to costumes and scenery, $2,000 to $3,000 goes to the musicians, stage manager and costume and set designers. That leaves $800 to $1,200 to split among the cast. Johnson points out that some of the actors donate the small amount of cash back to the theater. “It’s a tremendous amount of hard work,” Johnson says, basically for free. “It’s unlike any other hobby.” There’s one week left for rehearsal, all under “show conditions,” meaning makeup and costumes, lights and orchestra.

on stage and practice his choreography. Luckily it’s a quick commute from his job as an eligibility worker in the CalWorks division, helping people get food, cash and healthcare assistance. He sits at the mirror with his eyes closed as Karen Echegaray, who plays a trans sailor, fixes his makeup. Soon he’ll have a glittery black stripe painted down the center of his smooth head. Bowman toured with the Broadway revival of Cabaret in ’99 as a cellist in the orchestra and understudy for the part of Ernst, and he’d played the Emcee back in junior college. Still, he was “shocked and a little intimidated” to land the part at NCRT. Like some of the folks Bowman works with at his day job, “The Emcee is a person on the fringe also.” He adds, “Half the reason I do theater is to keep you sane from your day job. It’s very cathartic.” Stage manager Kira Gallaway has added a bulky headset to her uniform of black leggings and tank top, her blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail dyed pale lavender at the end. She’s zipping between the crowded dressing room and the house. She may, in the midst of talking, put one finger up and pivot away, talking to someone on her headset “I’ve always liked being behind the scenes more,” Gallaway says. Her day jobs are more of the same, as a “black shirt” stage manager for Center Arts and technical director for the Arcata Arts Institute’s theater. She likes being in charge and fixing problems, she says, as well as “watching the process, watching the actors just blossoming … and all the technical aspects coming together. It just gives me such joy.” Her family isn’t into theater, she says, and she doesn’t expect them at the show. Which is fine. It’s fine not being out there for the curtain call or applause, too. “I don’t need the glory. I just need what gives me that joy.” The cast warms up with yoga in heeled boots and bustiers. Then they run through the show from start to finish, with Custo-

dio occasionally calling “Hold!” to make adjustments. Bowman flubs a line and hops, muttering “fuck” for a second before he’s back in character. “Don’t Tell Mama” is tight enough for the dancers to add playful winks. When it’s over, Voss gives her notes first. “Feel the music,” she tells them, and “pull into the band” to keep up. Everything still needs to go faster. She wants Johnstone to “really push the song out of your heart.” Custodio flips through his notebook and speaks in the clear rapid fire manner Hughes says “engenders loyalty” and confidence. It also leaves little room for disagreement. “This is a non-nipple Cabaret,” he says, dead serious. “If you have nipples and they have the possibility of showing, you need to put pasties on them.” Also, “Everybody needs to be louder.” Preview night is always a Thursday and lightly attended, mostly by other theater folks, but it’s the first time the cast will get the real-time feedback of seeing an audience’s faces and hearing the laughs, applause and silences. “It’s the last ingredient they need,” says Johnson. At 6:55, much of the cast is on stage, still in street clothes. Voss calls down from the orchestra above with some quick notes: “Practice makes permanent,” she reminds them, and hold the note longer at the end of “Willkommen.” Custodio arrives in a black button-down shirt and pink bowtie. After his job at Dirty Business Soil Analytics, he taught a Zumba Class at CalCourts before running to the theater. Rehearsals went until midnight the day before, which, he explains, is why this is called “hell week.” He shares the feedback he got from a couple of folks he’d invited last night. “I got, ‘Was it your intention to have people counting the choreography?’ Of course, I said, ‘Yes.’” He tells the cast to trust and enjoy themselves, to make the audience “want to

Gallaway snakes through the dressing room reminding everyone to whisper. A few people are smoking out back under umbrellas and someone needs a shoe glued. Custodio is moving between actors, giving them last-minute notes and words of encouragement. Bowman’s knee is bothering him, which he says is “kinda par for the course.” “This is my most nerve-wracking night,” Custodio says, hunkered in the back row. He wants the audience to be engaged, to get “the general gender fuckery of it all.” He’d been taught you only get two scenes to draw in the audience. “Mein herr und herren, ladies and gentlemen and everyone beyond the binary,” calls Bowman under the pink lights, kicking off the ribald “Willkommen.” The audience hoots and whistles. The mood shifts when the Nazis show up before intermission. It’s jarring and the audience members blink at one another in silence when the lights come on. It’s the shock Custodio had hoped for instead of applause.

Backstage someone whispers, “They’re feeling it.” After the grim finale and curtain call, the cast members wade into the audience to greet friends and the theater becomes an impromptu party. Voss has only one page of notes, rather than her usual three or four. Hughes has a couple of technical issues to fix. Most take off their makeup, change and head to Ernie’s bar for drinks and a smoke on the patio, where, Custodio informs with an arched brow, “Everything is off the record.” Friday’s opening night is already sold out. Custodio feels good, though he has a couple of tweaks. He’s sure that no matter how strong the show is, it won’t “get a standing O,” since the harsh ending is difficult to clap for. But opening night receives a standing ovation after all. In a message, Custodio is pleased but still unwilling to declare victory. “Can’t really judge that until Sunday.” l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the Journal’s arts and features editor.

Dell’Arte Thesis Festival and NCRT’s Cabaret By Pat Bitton and David Jervis frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

Thesis Festival Dell’Arte’s annual Thesis Festival represents the graduating MFA students’ transition to the world beyond school — a world to which they will bring the totality of their three-year immersion in theater of place. The four pieces presented are all very different, reflecting the broad range of techniques studied, but all also very much about transitions: between life and death, love and disillusion, childhood and old age, disintegration and reconstruction. Performances are spread over two nights, with the first two pieces presented on Thursday and Saturday, and the second two on Friday and Sunday. In Go Below Yourself, Southern belle Susan (Kathryn Cesarz) finds herself unexpectedly dead and, even more unexpectedly, in what appears to be hell. Greeted by a bizarre cast of characters (Melanie Schauwecker, Jesse March, Evan Grande and Janie Pinard), Susan decides she must teach them some manners, which she believes will lead to her atonement and ultimate transfer to a more appropriate afterlife. All the characters are wonderful but on opening night had not quite coalesced into an integrated ensemble. I’m sure this will have been resolved by the second weekend. Visions of A Crying Girl is a very different piece — no comedic script, no colorful costumes, just two performers (Cleo DeOrio and Jordan Rosin) performing the quiet dance of a dying relationship. We watch with growing sadness the rituals of coupledom descend into mundane, meaningless rote and unfulfilled dreams float away as they try desperately to recapture the magic. With black-and-white costumes and

Pierrot makeup, this is minimalist theater at its expressive best. The word Kedma encompasses both the distant past and the unknown future, the beginning and end of the day, and the turning of the earth, so it is appropriate that the piece is performed outdoors in the round. Extracting maximum interpretive power from masks and movement, Kedma takes us inside the final journey of an old woman (Idit Kischinovsky), weaving together both real and imagined characters from her past (Leslie Castellano and Shawn Wagner) against a visceral soundscape by Maggie Lally. The final piece, Deshuesadero Suite, is by far the most abstract. Deshuesadero (“untying” in Spanish) is an apt metaphor for this extraordinarily choreographed dance of bodies in search of themselves. Set in a dark space with only a coffin-like box, Alfredo Romero, Carolina Pimentel and Daniel Loyola play with each other’s minds as they tear apart and reconstruct semblances of self with the assistance of grotesque masks, giant potato sacks, a suitcase and a small, mysterious container. In a recent Peanuts strip, Peppermint Patty wonders “Is love a ‘now’ kind of thing … or is it mostly hope and memories?” Every one of the characters presented in the 2019 Thesis Festival is, in their own way, wondering the very same thing. All four pieces are sufficiently well-developed and rounded to stand alone; together, they form an arc of interpretation that is well worth two trips to Blue Lake. — Pat Bitton The Thesis Festival continues Thursday through Sunday, May 23-26.

Cabaret

Perched between two tragic periods in 20th century history was Germany’s era of the Weimar Republic from 1919 to 1933. Laid low by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, the nation of Germany was in a time of economic and political ruin but it was also a time of cultural freedom that dovetailed with the American Jazz Age of the 1920s. It was a time of sexual liberty and freedom that was yet unseen in Europe, and American writer Christopher Isherwood lived in Berlin at the time and documented it in his writings. His works give the basis for the 1966 Broadway musical Cabaret, which North Coast Repertory Theatre presents now in what may be their best production so far this season. Cliff Bradshaw (Jordan Dobbins) arrives in Berlin on a New Year’s weekend in the early 1930s, a young American writer traveling through European capitals looking for inspiration. He makes friends in the rooming house belonging to Fräulein Schneider (a sharp Dianne Zuleger) as he teaches English to make some extra money, including from Ernst (Evan Needham), who has a side hustle himself smuggling Parisian goods into the impoverished nation. But at the center of Cabaret is the titular venue and all that goes on onstage and in the shadows. Ernst tips off Cliff about the Kit Kat Club, a popular Berlin nightspot. “Willkommen” is the opening number of Cabaret and it is a flashy, knockout start for the gender-bending and raucous tone of Tigger Bouncer Custodio’s great production. The Emcee of the Kit Kat (Gary Bowman) introduces the dancers of the club and remains the central presence of

the show throughout. Most of the drama centers on Cliff’s burgeoning relationship with Sally Bowles (Emma Johnstone), an English singer at the Kit Kat who comes to live in Cliff’s room. Johnstone, last seen at NCRT in King Lear, winningly belts two of the play’s best numbers, “Don’t Tell Mama” and “Mein Herr,” and she and Dobbins have good chemistry. The plum role belongs to Bowman, last seen in Ferndale Repertory Theatre’s Chicago, and he’s stunning in a role that steals the show and earns it with audacity and rigorous physical work. Director Custodio clearly is in his wheelhouse as the choreographer of the production and all of the Kit Kat dancers do great double duty throughout in creative ways, big and small. Germany’s libertine Weimar Republic gave way to the rise, the rule and the ruin of the Third Reich, and Cabaret’s second act is unflinching in making clear what is ahead for its principals and for the nation. For an often fun and rowdy production, Cabaret’s final moments drive that home in a moment during which you could hear a pin drop even from the back row. — David Jervis Cabaret plays at the North Coast Repertory Theatre on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. through June 16.

Table Talk

A Life in Brisket

Steven Raichlen’s “steaks” with herbed butter Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

f you smell smoke in Blue Lake this week, stay calm. Barbecue guru and James Beard and Julia Child award winner Steven Raichlen will be over at the Sapphire Room at Blue Lake Casino and Hotel for a PBS North Coast fundraiser on Thursday, May 30 (see Calendar). He’ll be hosting a feast and sharing a lean slice of the exhaustive knowledge he put into his book The Brisket Chronicles, as well as his suite of cooking shows, Project Fire, Project Smoke and Primal Grill. Brisket devotees, prepare to feel seen. Raichlen believes we’re in a “brisket moment.” The phrase popped into his head, he says, about two years ago when Aaron Franklin of Franklin Barbecue won a James Beard Award and the humble bovine chest meat that had for so long been sequestered in Texas and Kansas City barbecue, and so-called “ethnic” restaurants started popping up everywhere. “It’s hugely flavorful because it’s a load bearing muscle,” he says, making it worth the time and effort to prepare. “There are many cuts of meat that are deserving but none that has the emotional weight that brisket has,” says Raichlen, explaining why he chose to focus on the history, science and legion of recipes for the cut in his latest cookbook. “It’s comfort food for so many cultures,” he says. And the recipes from all manner of chefs — Irish corned beef, barbecued low and slow Texas style, sliced over pho or braised like his aunt made for Rosh Hashanah — bear out his point. Growing up Jewish in Baltimore, Raichlen says, “probably my first solid food was brisket.” In fact, he looks at this compendium as a kind of autobiography via brisket, starting with family dinners, moving to his college job at a deli that cured its own meats, then to his travels abroad in France and Germany, where he discovered different takes on the cut. Brisket showed up again and again all over the world when he entered food writing: “In every stage of my life, in every key moment, brisket has been with me.” Not a bad traveling

companion, when you think about it. Raichlen’s completist approach also takes him beyond the barbecue to ovens pots and fryers, which is not to say his grill is going cold anytime soon. Asked if there’s any food even he — having featured smoked ice cream and grilled cheesecake on Project Fire — would hesitate to smoke, he says he’d initially written off chocolate as a possibility because of its bitter flavor, only to find other chefs had yielded wonderful results. “I don’t know if I’d smoke a raspberry,” says Raichlen. “That might be cruel.” But he quickly recants, not wanting to rule anything out. “It’s possible there is not a single food on the planet that could not be improved by smoking.”

Brisket “Steaks” with Shallot Sage Butter Yield: Serves 4 Method: Direct grilling Prep time: 5 minutes Cooking time: 4 to 8 minutes Heat source: Grill You’ll also need: A microplane or other fine-hole grater What else: I take a savory approach to these steaks, basting them with Shallot Sage Butter and grating fresh horseradish root on top. (It’s amazing how fiery fresh horseradish invigorates the smoky meat.) Alternatively, you could take the sweet route, seasoning the steaks with barbecue rub instead of salt and pepper, and slathering them with your favorite sweet barbecue sauce in place of the butter. The brisket “steak” takes me back to my Barbecue University days at the Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. A chef there had the genius idea to cook thick slabs of barbecued brisket on a screaming hot grill, just as you would a New York strip. This gave the brisket a sizzling, crusty exterior that lay midway

between traditional barbecued brisket and steak, with a handsome smoky crosshatch of grill marks. (It’s also a great way to repurpose leftover barbecued brisket.) To this, add a shallot sage butter and a dusting of fiery fresh horseradish and you may just barbecue your next brisket solely to turn it into steak. Note: If you like your steaks lean, cut them from the flat. If you like them richer and fattier, cut them from the point. You’ve probably guessed by now that I like the latter. Ingredients: Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill grate 2 pounds barbecued brisket (about 4 pounds uncooked), cut across the grain into 1¼-inch-thick slices Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Shallot Sage Butter (recipe follows) 2-inch chunk of fresh horseradish root, peeled Set up your grill for direct grilling (lit coals in a single layer in the center of the grill, leaving the front third coal-free or, for a gas grill, with the rear burner on high, the center burner on medium and the front burner off) and heat to high. Brush or scrape the grill grate clean and oil it well. Season the brisket slices on both sides with salt and pepper. Brush the slices on both sides with half the Shallot Sage Butter; set the remaining butter aside. Arrange the brisket slices on the grill running diagonal to the bars of the grate. Grill until browned on the bottom, 2 to 4 minutes, giving each slice a quarter turn

halfway through to lay on a crosshatch of grill marks. Gently flip the brisket slices and grill the other side the same way, 2 to 4 minutes more. Serve the brisket steaks hot off the grill, with the remaining Shallot Sage Butter spooned over them and the fresh horseradish grated on top with a Microplane or other fine-hole grater.

Shallot Sage Butter Makes ½ cup Shallot Sage Butter brings a Mediterranean note to a smoked meat with deep American roots. Allium lovers can substitute garlic for the shallots. Ingredients: 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter 2 to 3 large shallots, peeled and minced (½ cup) 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage leaves (plus an optional handful of whole leaves) Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and sage and cook until just beginning to brown, 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep at room temperature until ready to use. Reheat the butter gently if it solidifies. l Excerpted from The Brisket Chronicles by Steven Raichlen, photographs by Matthew Benson. Workman Publishing © 2019.

A Creative Mess

Ornamental vs. productive gardens By Katie Rose McGourty

downanddirty@northcoastjournal.com

‘‘A

creative mess is better than tidy idleness,” stated a neatly typed sign on the door to our grandmother’s art room. Inside were shelves overflowing with art supplies, canvases stacked on every wall and boxes and boxes of wrapping paper, and forgotten Christmas presents. Here on the home farm, we’ve been inspired by Grandma’s wisdom, focusing on boosting productivity (aka creative mess) rather than ornamental perfection (tidiness). In more populated parts of the state, this approach to gardening often raises eyebrows. In certain suburbs, pristine landscaping is expected and all front yard landscape designs must be approved by homeowner associations. Allowing the lawn to grow longer

than three inches might result in a warning letter taped to the front door. Growing vegetables is another story entirely. In South Central Los Angeles, gardener Ron Finley was fined for growing food on a median in front of his home — his only available garden space. He remained determined to grow food because there was nowhere in his neighborhood within walking or biking distance where he could buy fresh organic vegetables, something to which he thought everyone should have daily access. He persevered, attending public meetings and applying for permits until he finally earned the right to grow his own vegetables. Luckily, here in Humboldt we have more breathing room. We can let the grass wave in the wind while we bustle to get our garden packed

with as many vegetables as possible. Now that frost season is officially over, we are planting all the vegetables on our list. With the beautiful sunshine and light breezes of mid-spring, we sow corn, beans, squash (summer and winter), basil and pumpkins. In order to have the most growing area possible, we long ago got rid of all the lawns to produce more food and cut flowers. Yes, luscious green lawns are very pleasing to the eye and bare toes. But does it compare to a bowl of blueberries still warm from the sun? We’d rather sacrifice a little tidiness for a lot of creative mess when it comes to fresh berries and vegetables. And listening to the drone of lawnmowers around the neighborhood every weekend morning, we revel in the relative silence that is vegetable growing. Routine tasks such as tilling the earth, composting, sowing seeds, transplanting, watering and weeding give us a chance to unwind from our busy work schedules — listening to birdsong and watching butterflies. Our friends who don’t grow vegetables complain about mowing the lawn and we feel bad their only experience with yardwork is operating a loud machine. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to take out even a portion of the lawn, now is a great time to start. Simply measure out the desired growing space, cover with a thick layer of cardboard and top it with a couple inches of mulch. The area can be bordered with boards for a raised garden bed (two 2-by-12-foot Douglas fir boards can be cut into 3- and 9-foot sections and stacked two boards high for a simple wall). Perhaps a more organic border, such as cut logs or river rocks, will do the trick. Either way, once covered, the lawn will die back. If making a raised bed, be sure to install hardware cloth along the bottom to keep out underground critters such as gophers and moles. Fill it with organic soil and compost, and plant away. We suggest a few raised beds for good measure, as it’s nice to have a variety

of vegetables. For those without a lawn but with abundant concrete and asphalt, you can also build raised beds on these surfaces. For drainage, it’s best to place cobble and gravel on the bottom 12 to 16 inches of the raised bed. In our marine climate, growing vegetables on asphalt and concrete may be ideal (especially in windy areas) because it absorbs heat from the sun, even on cool, overcast days. Given that we balance growing food with a full-time work schedule, time is often the limiting factor. We have two dueling aesthetics: Neat Nancy and Sloppy Suzy. Neat Nancy likes the grass trimmed to a manageable 1 to 3 inches, every shrub and tree neatly pruned, and not a leaf out of place. Sloppy Suzy makes piles everywhere, running from one job to the next. During busy planting times (such as right now), Sloppy Suzy prevails. The grass grows tall and waves in the breeze as she digs up the corn patch and plants out rows of beans and snap peas. Sloppy Suzy wants to add a compost pile with fresh manure on top to attract worms, dig up areas of the yard for new planting beds and generally create chaos that never seems completely contained. She tells Nancy to get over it — if you want to grow something there’s going to be a bit of a mess. The transition from ornamental to productive might seem daunting at first. However, every time dinner or dessert features something from the yard, it becomes that much easier to forget about neatness. Yes, the weeds may grow long as time is spent planting but this will only attract beneficial insects, create habitat for frogs and give the cats a chance to feel like they live in a jungle. Once we’ve done our planting, Sloppy Suzy can kick back and let Neat Nancy come in to pull all the weeds and cut back the grass. l

Get Out

For the Glory and All the Marbles Gearing up for the Kinetic Grand Championship By Cassaundra Caudillo getout@northcoastjournal.com

very Memorial Day weekend, sculptures come to life with the beating hearts of those furiously pedaling and rowing inside them. With a 50-mile course around Humboldt County, one would assume the teams are training day and night to make the trek, but that’s not the case for all teams. For teams with members nearly as old as the race itself, the approach is more laid back. Ken Beidleman, captain of Team 420 Hippy-potamus and six-time first starter winner, has been competing in the race since 1982. This is his 35th time so he knows his way around building a sculpture that can withstand hills, sand and sea. On his team are members who have been a part of the same squad for more than a decade. So how do these veterans train to complete the course each year? They don’t. For now, the goal is to have as much fun as possible. “I get the same team back because we have so much fun that they want to return,” Beidleman said. Getting their ride in shape is workout enough. Some racers don’t start their sculptures from scratch and it’s common to use the body of an older one, building on top of it or stripping it down to its bare bones and starting from there. Beidleman will be taking that route again this year

and reusing the large Pepto Bismol-colored hippopotamus that caught the eyes of spectators in years past. She was originally created in 2008 and has been used four times since. This will be her retirement run, so if you see her, make sure to grab a quick photo or two. Still, there is a good chance she might make a return like the Hamtastic Glory, brought out of retirement last year by co-captains Lush Newton and Malia Matsumoto and set to race again this year. As the duo was trying to bring another retired sculpture back to life, Beidleman offered up the ham, which was gathering dust above Lost Coast Brewery. Last year it had an Elvis Presley twist and the theme will continue this time around. As “Blue Hawaii” plays softly in the backs of their minds, Newton and Matsumoto are sprucing up the ham and their helmets. Since the theme is Blue Hawaii Kalua pork, their helmets in the shape of the King’s iconic hairstyle will be given a coat of blue paint and some larger-than-life pineapple slices will be added on the sculpture itself. “It’s a real piece of history and a privilege that we’re able to ride this ham,” Newton said. Like Team 420, they will be competing light-heartedly. Their main form of training is getting prepared mentally to tackle the course and its sheer length. Both co-cap-

tains have been competing for over a decade, though last year was their first time helming a vessel, and they know how much time must be dedicated to these sculptures, which doesn’t leave much room for training anyway. “In Kinetic Sculpture you can race two ways,” Matsumoto said. “Ace where there’s a lot of rules and restrictions and then there’s non-ace where the physical rigor isn’t as intense. With the constraints of all of our jobs, we didn’t have enough time to get ready for that but in the future, we plan to ace.” A brand new aspect to the race for spectators to get in on will be an added marble hunt. Spearheaded by Wende White with the help of Topher Reynolds of Copious Glass, the Great Marble Hunt and Race, will run like most, with clues given out on the day. The marbles, donated by Copious Glass, will be hidden alongside

the race route. Others will be sold at the race to offset the price of the marbles in the hunt. The marbles are offered up to be found by both spectators and racers, so expect it to be competitive. But organizers will also be handing out some free marbles to children. This year’s sculptural trophy for the winner of the race will also feature marbles. “We’ve hooked up together two Humboldt County centered things,” White said. “Kinetic racing, which is around the world but really started in Humboldt, and glass marble hunting. The sculpture itself will be a marble drop and it’ll spin around, displaying the higher quality marbles.”● The Kinetic Grand Championship kicks off at noon on May 25 on the Arcata Plaza. It travels over land and water to finish on Ferndale’s Main Street. See the Calendar for details.

t’s that time of year again where the bright and colorful statues ride around the plaza and across the land and into the sea — sort of — to find their terminal point on Main Street in Ferndale on Memorial Day. It’s a unique local event we locals tend to take for granted but is a fairly special thing if one stops to consider it for a moment. I am usually working or out of town for it, but this year I find my schedule open enough to allow me to observe the kick-off, so that’s something to look forward to. Here’s hoping that there’s a nice crowd, good weather and, if neither of those things, a free seat in the Alibi for me to listen in to the mirth with cocktail-assisted ears. Or perhaps an oasis somewhere on the sand strip route in Manila. I’m easy to please. Have a good one, see you all in the funny pages.

Riders in the Sky play the Old Steeple on Sunday, May 26 at 7:30 p.m. Courtesy of the artists

talented group Invincible Czars. First up at 7 p.m. is the Lon Chaney masterpiece The Phantom of the Opera, which I prefer in this format because the musical gets a giant “boooo” from this writer. Next up at 9 p.m. is F.W. Murnau’s ragged treasure Nosferatu, a movie that flutters in a series of strobe-lit silent screams. Admission to each showing is only $10, which will surely leave you some money in the budget for a bit of velvet and makeup.

Saturday

Come check out Just Joshin’, the only not-quite-late-night comedy variety show in Humboldt County, hosted by Josh Barnes at 9 p.m. Comedy is a priceless commodity in the age of extinction and this show is value-priced at a mere $5. Where you might ask? Why, the only comedy club in Eureka, named after a periodical which was itself named after a character from a desultory anecdote told by the protagonist in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the Savage Henry Comedy Club.

It’s the kick-off to the now probably world-famous Kinetic Grand Championship on the Arcata Plaza. I usually get to the plaza — it’s all literally downhill from my place — around mid-morning to get a good eyeball on the entries before the high noon peel-out, so perhaps you will want to do the same. Regardless, if you have any fuel left in you this evening, I suggest you go check out the Eastern European string sounds of Chubritza at Cafe Mokka for free at 8 p.m. Say hello to a certain handsome orange feline with a wandering nature named Chester while you are there. He’s good people.

So real quick, write this down: The Mad River Brewing Co. is hosting the ninth annual birthday bash for Bob Dylan starting at 5 p.m. This free celebration of the poet of Hibbing, Minnesota, will be helmed by Chris Parreira and friends. Nearby at The Logger Bar at 9 p.m., another free shindig goes down as Mojave Green and The Scum Lourdes team up to twang up the night. However, I have found a real corker of a double feature so read on, please. The Eureka Theater is hosting two horror staples of the silent film era with a live soundtrack which will be provided by the

For more than 40 years, Riders in the Sky has been entertaining families with fun and theatrical western music. If Toontown from the seminal half-human flick Who Framed Roger Rabbit? had a cowpoke house band for a cartoon saloon, it could only be voiced by these buckaroos. In fact, the group recorded “Woody’s Roundup” from Toy Story 2. Tonight the bright chuckwagon stops at the Old Steeple at 7:30 p.m. for an evening of be-hatted harmonizing. Load up and bring the kids, this show’s made for them ($45).

Monday (Memorial Day)

From Crab Park to Main Street, Ferndale, it’s the end of the line for yet another iteration of the earth and water race

of brightly absurd human-powered craft. Come revel in the glory somewhere along the route, sometime before afternoon. I’ll be away and en route to a much-needed voyage of my own out of town, so take a few pics for me, please.

RampArt Skatepark is hosting yet another all-ages punk show tonight at 8 p.m. ($7). Tonight’s headliner is Atlanta, Georgia’s Malevich, a group whose harsh sound is built on the notion of inclusivity and tolerance instead of nihilistic edgelord cruelty. Joining in for local support will be Cross Oceans CA, KLOD and FHOG aka Finger Hash of the Gods. Cool.

Wheels Up

Old Macktown Road

Since 1969, locals have been building art that moves and putting it to the test on land, sea and sand. This year, the 50th annual Kinetic Grand Championship continues that tradition as teams face off in a three-day, human-powered, 42-mile race. This Memorial Day weekend, you’ll see steampunk sharks, metal dragons, souped-up cycles, mega-monsters and more on the move. It all starts on Saturday, May 25 on the Arcata Plaza at 9 a.m. After a few circles around the square and initial assessment by Kinetic judges, the racers take off for some dune buggy-ing and the highly-anticipated Deadman’s Drop in Samoa. Drink beer, dance and celebrate with the teams at the Day 1 Finish Line at Halvorsen Park at 1 p.m. Then rest up and get ready for action on Sunday, May 26. Day 2 begins with a splash at 9:32 a.m. in Humboldt Bay at the Samoa Bridge Boat Ramp, then stops at Eureka Natural Foods for a quick lunch break and keeps on rollin’ (uphill) to Table Bluff. Day 3 kicks off on Monday, May 27 at 10:01 am, as the teams cross the Eel River and put the pedal to the metal in order to cross the finish line at Ferndale’s Main Street, where “the best party in the universe” awaits participants and spectators, alike. For the Glory! — Cassie Curatolo

Back to back weekends of fun await you in McKinleyville. Peruse local history and community-built art at the free, limited-run McKinleyville Community Pop-up Museum on Friday, May 24 from 5 to 8 p.m., Saturday, May 25, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, May 26, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Opening night includes a reception, live music, raffles and more. Then, giddy-up for Pony Express Days the following weekend. A chili cook-off warms up locals on Thursday, May 30 at 5:30 p.m. Then $5 gets you into the Pony Express Dance at Six Rivers Brewery on Friday, May 31 at 8 p.m. The next morning, fill up on vital fun fuel at Saturday’s pancake breakfast at Azalea Hall at 8 a.m. and mosey on down to watch the Pony Express Parade make its way through town. An all-day festival follows at noon, with live music, activities, food and craft vendors, horseshoe tournament, Coast Guard helicopters, fireman’s games and more at Pierson Park. Put on your cowboy pants Saturday, June 1 and Sunday, June 2 for competitive games on horseback at the Kjer Rodeo Grounds at 9 a.m. Yee haw, as they say. — Cassie Curatolo

Man of the Hour

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum By John J. Bennett

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3 - PARABELLUM. As we struggle for footing on the shifting sands of national leadership in constant cartoon crisis, a broader geopolitical landscape tilting toward global conflict and socioeconomic dissolution, and increasingly centralized popular entertainment defined by literal and figurative monsters, there is hope in John Wick. Everything else can continue to get bigger and worse, and continue to circle the drain, but if Keanu Reeves can stalk the night in exquisitely tailored suits, killing everything by whatever (and always more inventive) means necessary, there will be a source of catharsis, of solace. Once again: This is not for everyone. Any reader who has wandered this far down the path will likely understand the disclaimer applies to nearly all of my opinions. I will admit that part of my revelry in the ongoing success of the John Wick saga — yeah, I called it a saga — is petty and a little self-congratulatory. Parabellum is the first movie to finally unseat Avengers from its throne atop the box office. That it had already made a trillion dollars or however much is of little consequence; in this war we’re counting pyrrhic victories, including the near simultaneous end of Game of Thrones, which has apparently left the lives of everyone around without a focal point. As I’ve had no interest in that particular time-suck since the beginning, I can’t say I’ll miss it. But its absence soothes me. So that’s the petty part. Now, I understand that a generation of consumers have grown up on both the MCU and GoT, and more power to them. And I’ll acknowledge that I seem to be aging almost exponentially, at least in my opinions of culture at large, raging from my rocker on the front porch at the death of cinema and such. But the vast popularity of these things speaks more to the FOMO phenomenon than it does to the quality of the work, though I admit that is significant. Just as our stupid smartphones ostensibly connect us while actually making us lonelier than ever, so these vast, strictly commercial enterprises displace imagination and ingenuity in the popular entertainment marketplace. They give everybody something to talk about because nobody has anything to talk about.

The easy counterargument, of course, is that John Wick has also become a cultural phenomenon. “It’s No. 1 at the box office so get off your high horse!” I will; I shouldn’t have been up there in the first place. But there are a few vital differences: Looking back five years, I don’t think people particularly expected John Wick (2014) to gain the traction it did. It was released relatively quietly, with Reeves’ name-recognition as its only real marketing leverage. And, if we’re being honest, the man has been in as many bad movies as good. Don’t mishear, I still love him. Just saying. The front cover blurb on my physical copy of the movie is from something called Joblo’s Movie Emporium — not exactly a resounding endorsement. The first movie gathered momentum, though, because it is an exquisitely crafted and unrelentingly entertaining thing. The audience at-large may not recognize the pain and experience and volume of work required to execute so many incredible stunt sequences with so little trickery, but thanks to Reeves, director Chad Stahelski and writer Derek Kolstad, all of that incredible work plays beautifully onscreen as integral to an ever-expanding storyline. As that narrative, and its encompassing universe along with it, has continued to enlarge, so too have the stunts. Chapter Two took the action back to the Old World, introduced the High Table and played up the ancient ritual binding these assassins all together. And that it brought that aesthetic back to New York, crushed it between the unseen world of the King’s (Laurence Fishburne) Bowery and the ultra-modernity of nighttime Manhattan blew minds. Parabellum continues that trajectory: farther, bigger, more and maybe even better. For the uninitiated (as if any would have gotten this far), Chapter Two left our hero with one hour to put his affairs in order before he would be deemed excommunicado with a global $14 million bounty placed on his head. And so Parabellum opens with the clock ticking on that hour. John needs to get a nasty stab wound attended to, see to the care and feeding of his dog, and hopefully get out of New York alive. Which, of course, means he will need to meet with the Director (Anjelica Huston), rebuild an Old West six-shooter,

Trying to dress nice in Humboldt. John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum

win a(nother) knife/hatchet fight with a couple of villains and, oh yeah, outrun assassins on Ducatis with a carriage horse. That’s basically just the opening salvo. Provided he survives all of that, John might have to meet up with Sofia (Halle Berry) in Casablanca in an attempt to climb the ladder to the head of the High Table. The two of them might have to fight their way out of a Moroccan stronghold, aided by her Malinois attack dogs. I wouldn’t say one way or the other, but it might be the greatest action sequence ever assembled. And I haven’t even mentioned the ninja. Parabellum advances both the world-creation/story-construction and the standard for action commensurately with the series to date. Which is to say it outdoes itself at every turn and is giddily satisfying, all for a budget one-sixth that of Endgame. PS: The Chapter Four release date has already been announced. R. 130M.

Bald Faced Fliers and Beetle Mania By Anthony Westkamper humbug@northcoastjournal.com

The bald faced truth I decided to devote this week’s contribution to a single unpopular species. Known for its large size, aggressive behavior and powerful sting, the bald faced hornet (Dolichovespula maculata) is liked by few people. They’re neither completely bald faced nor technically hornets. Their white faces are sparsely covered with setae (hairs) and they are, in fact, the largest member of the yellow jacket clade of wasps. When I spotted one building a slender, gray stalactite from the ridge of my greenhouse, I knew it was preparing to build a nest. Instead of reaching for the wasp killer, I reached for a camera. I really wanted to find where she was gnawing the wood she ground into a pulp to build her nest. I was going to stain some paper with food coloring and try to get her to build a multi colored hive. Sadly, I never found the source of her building materials. Over the next few days I visited often. Whenever I got too close, she let me know by facing me, putting her wings back in a “V” shape and vibrating them loudly. To quote an immigrant friend, “I love this country, even the snakes warn you.” Not only does she sport black and (well almost) yellow aposematic coloration (conspicuous coloration or markings of an animal serving to warn off predators), but also what I’ve termed “aposematic sonification.” Like a rattlesnake, she makes warning sounds. They do have their good points. First and foremost, as good mothers, they are voracious hunters of other insects, including yellow jackets, which they chew up and feed to their young. A hornet or paper wasp nest near your garden can provide both a lot of pest protection and pollination services, as the adult workers

feed largely on nectar. She laid eggs in the first four cells she had built and then one day never returned. I suspect a bird probably got her. The eggs will never hatch and the nest will forever be unfinished. If one starts to build her nest nearby and you spot it before the first generation of workers hatches, watch for her to leave to gather wood or feed herself, and knock it down. Then leave for a while. Most likely she will get the message and move on.

Beetles in the spring While beetles were my first love when I started studying insects and are believed to have the greatest number of species of any of the insect orders, I find I seldom write about them. Two years ago I wrote about the night stalking tiger beetle (Omus californicus), a nocturnal terror with a Darth Vader demeanor (“Darth Omus,” May 4, 2017). That was the first one I’d ever seen, and I was impressed by its ferocious face. This year I’ve seen several, both at night and in the daytime. Like their cousins within the family Carabidae, they possess huge mandibles to subdue prey and with which the males hold onto their mates. Unlike genus Omus, which are completely black, the locally common western tiger beetle (Cicindela oregona) comes in various hues, from a conservative faun gray to iridescent blue green. On close inspection even the somber hued ones have metallic undertones. You can find these on the sandy spaces along our local river bars. At about half an inch long, they run rapidly ahead of you and take wing, flying a short distance to get out of your way. ● Read more of Anthony Westkamper’s HumBug on Sundays at www.northcoastjournal.com.

John Bartholomew Humboldt County Tax Collector Executed at Eureka, Humboldt County, California, on May 13th, 2019. Published in the North Coast Journal on May 16th, May 23rd, & May 30th, 2019.

NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3361, 3362 Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code 3691 and 3692.4, the following conditions will, by operation of law, subject real property to the Tax Collector’s power to sell. 1) All property for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for five or more years. Note: The power to sell schedule for nonresidential commercial property is three or more years of tax-defaulted status, unless the county adopts, by ordinance or resolution, the five-year tax default schedule. 2) All property that has a nuisance abatement lien recorded against it and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years. 3) Any property that has been identified and requested for purchase by a city, county, city and county or nonprofit organization to serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years. The parcels listed herein meet one or more of the criteria listed above and thus, will become subject to the Tax Collector’s power to sell on July 1, 2019, at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The Tax Collector’s power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to close of business on the last business day in June. The right to an installment plan terminates on the last business day in June, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at public auction. The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at close of business on the last business day prior to the date of the sale by the Tax Collector. All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector, 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, CA 95501, (707)476-2450.

Trust, to pay the remaining prin− cipal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the prop− erty to be sold and reasonable esti− mated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $292,637.39 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclu− sive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust hereto− fore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this prop− erty lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the prop− erty. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor− mation. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280−2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 069737−CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (800) 280− 2832 CLEAR RECON CORP 4375 Jutland Drive San Diego, California 92117

Free Will Astrology Week of May 23, 2019 By Rob Brezsny

Homework: Make up a secret identity for yourself. What is it? How do you use it? Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the coming weeks, I suspect you will have the wisdom to criticize yourself in constructive ways that will at least partially solve a long-standing problem. Hallelujah! I bet you will also understand what to do to eliminate a bad habit by installing a good new habit. Please capitalize on that special knowledge! There’s one further capacity I suspect you’ll have: the saucy ingenuity necessary to alleviate a festering fear. Be audacious! TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What standards might we use in evaluating levels of sexual satisfaction? One cruclal measure is the tenderness and respect that partners have for each other. Others include the ability to play and have fun, the freedom to express oneself uninhibitedly, the creative attention devoted to unpredictable foreplay, and the ability to experience fulfilling orgasms. How do you rate your own levels, Taurus? Wherever you may currently fall on the scale, the coming months will be a time when you can accomplish an upgrade. How? Read authors who specialize in the erotic arts. Talk to your partners with increased boldness and clarity. While meditating, search for clues in the depths. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If there were a Hall of Fame for writers, Shakespeare might have been voted in first. His work is regarded as a pinnacle of intellectual brilliance. And yet here’s a fun fact: The Bard quoted well over a thousand passages from the Bible. Can you imagine a modern author being taken seriously by the literati if he or she frequently invoked such a fundamental religious text? I bring this to your attention so as to encourage you to be Shakespeare-like in the coming weeks. That is, be willing to draw equally from both intellectual and spiritual sources; be a deep thinker who communes with sacred truths; synergize the functions of your discerning mind and your devotional heart. CANCER (June 21-July 22): “People will choose unhappiness over uncertainty,” writes Cancerian author and entrepreneur Timothy Ferriss. He doesn’t do that himself, but rather is quite eager to harvest the perks of dwelling in uncertainty. I presume this aptitude has played a role in his huge success; his books have appeared on bestseller lists and his podcasts have been downloaded more than 300 million times. In telling you this, I’m not encouraging you to embrace the fertile power of uncertainty 24 hours a day and 365 days of every year. But I am urging you to do just that for the next three weeks. There’ll be big payoffs if you do, including rich teachings on the art of happiness. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Many eighteenth-century pirates were committed to democracy and equality among their ranks. The camaraderie and fairness and mutual respect that prevailed on pirate ships were markedly different from the oppressive conditions faced by sailors who worked for the navies of sovereign nations. The latter were often pressed into service against their will and had to struggle to collect meager salaries. Tyrannical captains controlled all phases of their lives. I bring this to your attention, Leo, with the hope that it will inspire you to seek out alternative approaches to rigid and hierarchical systems. Gravitate toward generous organizations that offer you ample freedom and rich alliances. The time is right to ally yourself with emancipatory influences. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t wait around for fate to decide which decisions you should make and what directions you should go. Formulate those decisions yourself, with your willpower fully engaged. Never say, “If it’s meant to be, it will happen.” Rather, resolve to create the outcomes you strongly desire to happen. Do you understand how important this is? You shouldn’t allow anyone else to frame your important questions and define the nature of your problems; you’ve got to do the framing and defining yourself. One more thing:

don’t fantasize about the arrival of the “perfect moment.” The perfect moment is whenever you decree it is. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the coming weeks, I hope you’ll regularly give yourself to generous, expansive experiences. I hope you’ll think big, funny thoughts and feel spacious, experimental emotions. I hope you’ll get luxurious glimpses of the promise your future holds, and I hope you’ll visualize yourself embarking on adventures and projects you’ve been too timid or worried to consider before now. For best results, be eager to utter the word “MORE!” as you meditate on the French phrase “joie de vivre” and the English phrase “a delight in being alive.” SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to Popular Mechanics magazine, over three million sunken ships are lying on the bottoms of the world’s oceans. Some of them contain billions of dollars’ worth of precious metals and jewels. Others are crammed with artifacts that would be of great value to historians and archaeologists. And here’s a crazy fact: fewer than one percent of all those potential treasures have been investigated by divers. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I hope it might inspire you to explore your inner world’s equivalent of lost or unknown riches. The astrological omens suggest that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to go searching for them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Some days you need god’s grace,” writes poet Scherezade Siobhan. “On other days: the feral tongue of vintage whiskey and a mouth kissed by fire.” I’m guessing, Sagittarius, that these days you might be inclined to prefer the feral tongue of vintage whiskey and a mouth kissed by fire. But according to my astrological analysis, those flashy phenomena would not motivate you to take the corrective and adaptive measures you actually need. The grace of god—or whatever passes for the grace of god in your world—is the influence that will best help you accomplish what’s necessary. Fortunately, I suspect you know how to call on and make full use of that grace. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn poet William Stafford articulated some advice that I think you need to hear right now. Please hold it close to your awareness for the next 21 days. “Saying things you do not have to say weakens your talk,” he wrote. “Hearing things you do not need to hear dulls your hearing.” By practicing those protective measures, Capricorn, you will foster and safeguard your mental health. Now here’s another gift from Stafford: “Things you know before you hear them — those are you, those are why you are in the world.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Love is an immoderate thing / And can never be content,” declared poet W. B. Yeats. To provide you with an accurate horoscope, I’ll have to argue with that idea a bit. From what I can determine, love will indeed be immoderate in your vicinity during the coming weeks. On the other hand, it’s likely to bring you a high degree of contentment — as long as you’re willing to play along with its immoderateness. Here’s another fun prediction: I suspect that love’s immoderateness, even as it brings you satisfaction, will also inspire you to ask for more from love and expand your capacity for love. And that could lead to even further immoderate and interesting experiments. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will know you are in sweet alignment with cosmic forces if you have an impulse to try a rash adventure, but decide instead to work on fixing a misunderstanding with an ally. You can be sure you’re acting in accordance with your true intuition if you feel an itch to break stuff, but instead channel your fierce energy into improving conditions at your job. You will be in tune with your soul’s code if you start fantasizing about quitting what you’ve been working on so hard, but instead sit down and give yourself a pep talk to reinvigorate your devotion and commitment. ●
